Featured chinese ebay jar thoughts

Hi folks

just bought this on ebay for £15. (about an hour ago, so haven't recieved yet )

think its either old old, late 19th century or modern repro of something old old

worth the gamble though as it looks promising

seller states 7 inches tall

still can't google image for some reason, just won't load

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

It is Canton ware, made for export, mainly to South and Southeast Asia.
Could be ca 1900, could be a bit later.

 

Carp looks similar here and the design on the back.

AJ-When Charlie lists this piece,could he correctly call it a 'Ginger and or Temple Jar' ?
Good luck on the sale Charlie.

 

awesome, thanks Aj and house. i was hoping it was earlier but can understand it being from that period

 

the seller described it as a temple jar actually mate

this page seems to describe the differences

Ah-Thank you sir,it'd help if i slowed down my scattered brain.Trying to dissect the election,choose a new Medicare Plan,tune up the generator for Winter & discuss my miniature passport mask w/ online dealers....need a bit of chillin'.

 

A 'Canton lidded jar' would be my choice of words.

 

I think that is from a Western perspective.

 

came today, quite happy with it, smells old which is always a good sign
as i mentioned i was hoping it was earlier than 19th, but guess its more that provincial type ware

 

Ah, that would've caught my eye, too.
